Sunday Love LetterOfisharu Higedan Dism
A work that conjures a warm scene: writing a letter during a calm holiday while listening to the breathing of a lover asleep beside you.
Many will likely empathize with the protagonist, who puts feelings of gratitude and anxiety—normally too embarrassing to say out loud—onto stationery.
The blue-ink pen that serves as the song’s motif apparently comes from a true story: vocalist Satoshi Fujiwara used one in his school days after hearing it made things easier to remember.
This track closes the mini-album “MAN IN THE MIRROR,” released in June 2016, and has enjoyed steadfast popularity since their indie days.
It’s a gentle song that gives you a nudge forward when you’re feeling lonely in a long-distance relationship or when you want to reaffirm your love for a cherished partner.
sparklersloppy dim
A love song by sloppy dim themed around clumsy love, portraying a fragile relationship through the image of sparklers.
It tenderly weaves, with a melodious flow, the frustration of being unable to express affection well and the heartfelt desire to be accepted nonetheless.
The scene of lighting sparklers on a backstreet at night symbolizes the couple’s fleeting time together, and the emotion of not wanting to let go of the present, even while understanding it’s destined to fade, resonates deeply.
It was included on the EP “BALLOON” released in December 2020, and reached No.
11 on Apple Music’s R&B/Soul chart in February 2021.
Recommended for when you want to soak in the bittersweetness of summer’s end or savor time with someone special.
MiracleGReeeeN
GReeeeN, the faceless artist, released “Kiseki” in 2008, and it’s widely loved as a classic love song.
Set to an easy-to-listen-to melody, it features plenty of heart-fluttering lines like “I want to be with you forever” and “I’ll always love you.” If you sing it coolly at karaoke, the woman you like—or your girlfriend—will fall even more head over heels for you.
It’s truly a masterpiece worthy of representing love songs of the 2000s.
Flameflumpool
Released in 2009, this song was used as Mynavi’s job-hunting support anthem, and many people likely listened to it when they needed a push during tough times in their job search—or after a heartbreak.
Its lyrics are like a bright, encouraging cheer, delivered with a gentle, heartfelt touch.
If you need a little nudge, give it a listen.
FlowerORANGE RANGE
It became a huge hit as the theme song for the movie “Be With You.” The lyrics, filled with the sense of miracle at having met a lover or someone you care about in this world, are particularly striking.
Although ORANGE RANGE has many pop songs, their medium-tempo ballads are also incredibly cool.

cold; curt; blunt; unfriendlyRADWIMPS
A track included on the album “ANTI ANTI GENERATION.” Even though they’d decided they were done with casual flings, when you said “sure,” they went along with it, saying they were free anyway.
They think they’re playing it cool, but they’re not—an honest, endearing protagonist you just can’t hate.
It makes you want to chime in, “That’s why you’re getting played,” but… I bet more people than you’d expect have found themselves in the same situation.
It’s a song where the love they’re trying to hide spills out all over the place.
A life-sized love songAqua Timez
There are feelings that are conveyed more through hugging and being hugged than through words, aren’t there? Even the things that are too embarrassing to say are all expressions of caring for the other person.
When I listen to this song, it makes me truly feel, from the bottom of my heart, that I want to fall in love with someone for real.
